It is no secret that many startups dream to be acquired by larger financial institutions. Only a few actually make it happen. How to get the ball rolling? What does a business need to have to make it that far? In June 2017, Flywire acquired PACE Invoice, a multi-currency invoicing platform provider from London, and an alumnus of Startupbootcamp. What can we learn from this success story? How can you benefit from the eco-system of mentors, partners, and investors in the FinTech industry?
